Deep Blue Sea typifies British cinema: deliberate, melodramatic, yet somewhat lacking in narrative depth. The plot centers on a discontented young woman married to an aging British judge who embarks on a passionate affair with a former Royal Air Force pilot, Freddie Page (Hiddleston).
It’s not a terrible movie, but it’s not particularly good either; it occupies a middle ground. Feel free to watch it if you’re curious!

Arguably Tom Hiddleston’s best performance to date is his portrayal of Loki Laufeyson, the Norse God of Mischief, in this six-episode series. The plot revolves around Loki and TVA agent Mobius M. Mobius pursuing a variant of Loki who is hunting down TVA agents and aiming to destroy the TVA.
But are things as simple as they seem? Or is there a much darker secret? This series is a suspense thriller in its own right and achieved worldwide success. Loki was so popular that it returns October 5 with Season 2.

In this movie, Tom Hiddleston portrays Loki for the last time in a leading role, as his character meets his demise at the hands of Thanos in Avengers Infinity War. Here, Loki undergoes redemption, standing alongside his brother Thor and other heroes in defense of Asgard. It marks the first occasion where Loki physically fights alongside Thor rather than through illusion. Visually stunning and masterfully crafted, this film arguably stands as the pinnacle of the Thor series.

1. I Saw The Light (2015)
Cast- Tom Hiddleston, Elizabeth Olsen, Maddie Hasson, Wrenn Schmidt, James DuMont
Release Date- 1 April, 2016
IMDB/ Rotten Tomatoes- 5.8/ 19%
I Saw the Light stands as one of Tom Hiddleston’s finest films, a homage to Hank Williams, the legendary country musician whose life ended at just 29. Despite his extraordinary musical talent, Williams’ life was marred by alcohol, infidelity, and drugs, leading to his death from a heart attack in 1953.
Hiddleston portrays Hank Williams impeccably, immersing himself in the character’s nuances, accent, and musicality. His dedication to the role, from mastering the southern drawl to learning music from scratch, is commendable. I highly recommend this movie as a must-watch; you won’t be disappointed.
Overall, Hiddleston demonstrates remarkable versatility, seamlessly transitioning between serious, comedic, and romantic roles. His ability to adapt to any character is truly admirable, earning the respect of movie enthusiasts.
